jazzbender makes the acquaintance of an old salt charon by Bruce Harris Bentzmanpublished in Volume 2, Issue 5 on November 8th, 1995

to be a sunken galleon in a tropical sea he said
where beyond the landlord's reach dreams like colored
fish would sway among the shelves and desk legs
in the watery twilight of the captain's cabin

the sea's slender tentacles grasping at continents
the one road for a thousand exotic ports

the corpse drifting as far as the brackish harbor
to be found bobbing in the polluted slick and foam
knocking against the rusted hull of a stranded ferry
